There were adults there. However, I think the burnt girl was 12. A twelve year old is old enough to legally babysit and/or be home alone, and depending on her individual maturity, old enough to make scrambled eggs or a grilled cheese on the stove top.

And clearly, her parents were in the "allow" category and I don't think that's particularly irresponsible.
